Other Cars we Own

[Mike Atwood]

Here is a place where we can list our "other" cars. Gee....I didn't know anyone that owned a Buick drove anything else. :laugh:


Mike

[potopaj]

Thanks Mike. There's my car and an olds etc.. in the main forum. This seamed like it would make more sense. Sorry for thinking.:Dou:

[OLDS442GM]

Let me be the first to post something here :TU: ...here is a nice pic of my Olds! :TU:

[65_Lark]

I guess Im gonna be the first. Although its not a street car I still drive it fomr time to time.


1984 Delta 88

[OLDS442GM]

...1 more shot of the Olds :TU:

[OLDS442GM]

...and my other toy! my 79 Trans Am! :TU:

[65_Lark]

[BlownNailhead]

Here is my 37 Chevy truck daily driver:

[BlownNailhead]

And here is my 38 Chevy sedan:

[BlownNailhead]

This is my current project working on between fixing my Riviera's supercharged nailhead. It is a dry lakes modified style roadster. Has a narrowed 32 Ford truck cowl and doors, 24 T back panel, 2 x 3 tubing frame, Model A front axle, 8-inch rearend, 53 Ford six and trans, 59 Ford truck steering column and box. Plus a bunch of other misc parts. Will have a laid back V-style windshield and i have a 53 Jaguar grill for it. I think at a later date it should get a nailhead, but for now the inline 6 is cool and was free. Just trying to build something fun to drive around and not for racing.

[BlownNailhead]

Finally here is my 68 GTO:

[Keith Conkle]

My daily driver.........84 Olds Delta 88...........27,000 genuine little old lady miles...........:grin: :grin: :grin:

[Smartin]

My Driver....and I drive it A LOT.:gt:

98 Ford E350

5.4 liter tow hog.

Gets 13 mpg....depending on if I have driven the Buick in a while or not.

[skyphix]

The other...

And I drive this quite a bit, but its technically my grandmothers...

http://www.skyphix.com/old/v2/gallery/full/Subaru2.jpg

[Boozoo]

'69 GTX... this is my front line project right now since it's 85% ready for the road. As soon as I get the tranny and rear gears fixed (hopefully within a week or two) it'll be out there smoking out the bugs and teething pains.
http://mywebpages.comcast.net/tumbleweeds/images/69GTX/P8200001.jpg

This is my long term project... had it since high school and even though it's a Chevy... it's my reason for being here :) That... and I just really like this board! This used to be small Chevy powered with a "very angry cam" as another poster put it. But for its rebirth, it's getting a 455 I bought off of Jason Hise. I'm hoping to keep it a 4 speed car if I can find all the bits and pieces.
http://mywebpages.comcast.net/tumbleweeds/images/55Chevy/55_in_19861.jpg

And this one is my LONG long term project car. I'm really hoping to get some time on this one this winter. It needs EVERYthing. Even a chassis. Sorry to say it, but this one will probably be SBC powered. Unless my dad scores that 354 hemi for me :)

Thought this was such an excellent picture that I just had to say so! My 2 favorite cars of all time!

[68_riv]

My 73 Trans Am that I did a ground up restoration on a few years ago.

Keith

[opeltwinturbo]

Didn't want to beat up the Buick fleet. This thing is a blast. It is the fastest car I have ever driven right off the showroom floor. It sounds like your are driving the Steve McQueen car in the movie Bullet. (Didn't want to say the M word). It is a shame Buick couldn't come out with something as wild.

Dee Thanks Dee, your cars look pretty good too! :Brow:

[tdacton]

1968 Dodge Coronet R/T 440 auto

If you look closely, You can see my daily driver.
What all of the world hates!
Yes it is a Mustang. 91 GT Convertible.

I also drive my 1988 Mustang LX 5.0 5-speed T-Top car that I bought original in 1987. One of the last T roof cars ever built on a Mustang.

I hope this doesn't give everyone an even worse opinion of myself. But for a reliable piece of transportation. A 5.0 is a fun daily driver.
Troy

[tdacton]

The other side.

[stage-x]

My 55 Bel Air Convert is on my website (www.carstorations.com) and I just ordered a 2004 GTO...Yellow with 6 speed...due in December:grin:

[bignastyGS]

My main ride.
Pat:beer

[opeltwinturbo]

Hey Pat: Does that have a Dodge Hemi in it :laugh: :laugh:

[Smartin]

You know....a HEMI!!!!:laugh:

Then it must NOT be the most powerful force in the universe.:spank:

[65_Lark]

Im suprised no one had a comment about my Olds 88. BTW that thing still runs.

[rudegyal]

the car that nobody will buy :ball:

[RebelShredMojo]

heres my 71 Cutlass Supreme, Got it a month ago..83k Orignal miles, paid $3k for it, havent changed a thing yet!

[MikeM]

Looks like a good deal on that cutlass. Bittersweet mist is same color as my 71GS convertible.

Also like the 440 coronet. There are a lot of good 'other cars' showing up. I'm all Buick, so won't be posting.

And to 65Lark with the Olds stock car... I'm so glad that's not a nice Buick. Good luck kicking their butts.

[rh455]

During the week I drive an '03 Windstar. My office is inside with all my computer crap(satellite). This is my weekend ride. It's a '97 F350 Powerstroke. It's my 4th one. Since I've been buying diesels, all my friends like me even more :Do No: Go figure. They call it the "sled". They all like it cause it's cheap on fuel when they want to get towed to the track.

[nvr2fst]

This is my 86 Mustang Convertible. It has a whole list of mods:
4 wheel disc brakes, lowering kit, 17" wheels, Edlebrock Heads, GT 40 manifold, Mass Air Conversion with 70mm Throttle body, cold air kit, Cobra cam, 1.7 roller rockers, Mac headers, 24lb injectors, Aluminum radiator, and flowmaster exhaust system. It also has some visable body changes.

[12lives]

Rode hard and put away wet!

[sparky]

heres my first car ...still have it 23 years later

[Bryan67]

Here is mine. 1967 VW with about 150 HP.
I also drive the 66 special in the Dragn Wagn section.

[redbuick]

My driver is a 88' caprice, gets me to work, hauls my junk and my boat too............been a good one

[jpoole]

Here is my daily driver, I shall call it P-Dog.

[ricknmel67]

Well.. you've seen all our Buicks in my avatar and sig....
But you haven't seen Mel's daily driver......
A 96 Cutlass Supreme. Nothing fancy...but in about 6 months it's all paid for. :gt: Up goes the Buick budget! :Brow:

[Brent 71 GS455]

Ok, I'm gonna try this, I haven't had much (any) luck posting pictures here. I reduced my file sizes, so here goes.

You guys will have to try and forgive me for having gone astray for so many years. The GS is my first american hot rod in a decade or so. Glad to be back:grin:

In the mean time, I've been running mostly German cars. First pic, my 1989 Porsche 928 GT. This is one of 53 known in the US and the only one with this color combo, Velvet Red over Linen White. This is my summer driver and road course racer. It ran a 13.7 @104 not bad for a 5.0L V8 in a 3500lb car.

In the background is my 3/4 ton Chev dura-pooch diesel crew cab.

[Brent 71 GS455]

Cool, It worked:TU: Here are a couple more.

This is my wife baby, 1998 BMW 750iL. This is the family limo. It is powered by a 5.4L V12 engine backed by a five speed auto. This car is almost obnoxiously swift and silent. It cruises the highways at 100mph without any clue for the passengers. The rear seats have more room than the fronts, and are heated, have power lumbar and power recliners. The wheels are BMW motorsport, 18" forged jobbies. The windows are double pane, I could go on and on.

[Brent 71 GS455]

Lastly is my off-road tool, 1995 Mercedes-Benz Geleandewagon G320. This is the german Hummer. The pic is from Moab Utah, the obstacle is the "Golden Crack", a really big friggen hole you must cross to complete the trail. This thing is a TANK, solid axles on coil springs, factory differential lockers. Pretty much indestructible and a go anywhere machine. This year it got 33" MT tires and a 9500lb Warn winch in front. I am leaving this weekend for a week of off-roading with a group of these things in Colorado. Grey market truck, not imported by Mercedes until 2002 yet, in production since 1979.

[Chris Lott]

Nice collection of toys Brent, looks like you have all of your bases covered!:TU:

[recluse_71]

my daily driver, 86 bmw 325es. blue leather interior/w leather recaro's, completely whited out outside (grill,bumpers,trim,etc.)
white bbs wheels, limo tint. 800watt stereo (not all that loud tho, just tuned to sound good).
Havnt done much performance wise exept add a performance chip and a louder muffler. just hit 200,000 a few days ago and still runs like brand new, but leaks coolent every couple days..
2.93 limited slip
sport suspention
5 speed

this is older picture, have an air dam on front now

[BuickGSXJuiced]

heres my other vehicle 87 4X4 and the vette in the back round is my dad's and of corse the garage is all done with siding and trim

[83Stage1]

First attempt at posting a pic, bear with me if it doesn't work...

My '84 GMC with a 74 455. All stock and getting a little tired for pulling cars around (170,000+). It still runs good though. I may swap this engine into a driver & build a stronger motor for towing over this winter.

The big oil mess is from a multitude of previous beaters, but this one does leak a little too.

[83Stage1]

Cool, it worked. A little bigger than anticipated...

And yes, the seat is blue. The original brown one is out being recovered. I borrowed this one from a local junkyard.

Since the Olds enduro car didn't seem to get his desired response, how 'bout this one? Yep, I'm one of "those" guys. oooh - can feel the chill in the air already. In my defense, I don't expect the world's going to miss a Cavalier with a cracked head.

[NorthernRiviera]

1973 Opel Manta A - found it in a barn. It has just run 11000 miles and has been stored since 1975 when it was crashed on the right side. I've replaced the fender, quarter-panel, door etc and this winter I'll be painting and assembling the car.. (and hopefully getting the engine turning again.. seized up =/... )

If anybody has any good tips please let me know, I'm currently trying with a wrench on the fan pulley to make it turn again but no luck.. (squirted lots of oil in the sylinders).

[3shields]

Well,

here is one of our other rides.....

[3shields]

Heres one more.........

[3shields]

[Chris Cornett]

It is not mine but since I do all the work on it here is a pic of my dad's 77 Corvette which now sports a pretty healthy SBC.

[dragracer43]

[409skylark]

Hey everyone,
Dont hate me but this is my first total frame of restoration. This is a 2 years old photo. Now if I can only sell one of my extra cars to finish this one. Kinda become like kids after a while dont they?

[409skylark]

heres a better photo.

[chryco63]

Here's my '77 Mercury Grand Marquis. I got it for a song, and it's in pretty mint shape! Only thing is that the 460 isn't very mileage friendly, so the car has been sitting for a little over a year. I've got plans to make it a nice cruiser, but only if the money knocks on the door. If someone knocks on my door and offers me money for it, I'd let it go, too...

[chryco63]

pic 2

[chryco63]

Here's my summer car... or what was my summer car up until last summer, which was the last summer I drove it. :Dou:

'63 Chrysler, 2dr H/T, 361 w/ cam, intake, carb, duals, pushbutton, 8 3/4 w/2.76s. She's a fun one, but she needs to go (see sig.).

[chryco63]

pic 2

Don't let the pics fool ya, she's actually pretty soft in the body. :Dou:

[66BuickLeSabre]

Got some of my old car, none of my winter beater yet. Nothing great to look at anyways, its incredibly rusty, oh well it runs great. Well heres some of my 85 caprice, got pretty attached to it, it was a good first car. Just a shame what happened to it... :ball: :ball: :ball:

[66BuickLeSabre]

Man I hate looking at pics of that car, it was nice. And had flowmasters! Well take a look what happened...:ball: :ball: :ball: :ball: :ball:

[Smartin]

OUCH!:(

[66BuickLeSabre]

Ha yea, thats what happened when I was parked on a hill and the guy feel asleep behind the wheel (was on medication, wasnt supposed to be driving). But on the plus side I was really lucky, I was just about to go move it, I probably would have died if I was in the car due to wiplash. I was right there when it happened, what a terrible sound. Man I'll never forget that day, or date, June 3rd 2003. I just started weeping, one of those first car things I guess. From then on whenever I was at my girlfriends if there wasnt room in their driveway I parked on the lawn or their neighbor was nice enough to say I could park in his driveway. Well thought Id tell me story.
Joe

[my3buicks]

my everyday driver is still a Buick. I even added Portholes to it now.

[68 LeSabre 4dr]

Keith , You did use a metal bit to put the port holes in , Right ??

:Do No: :Brow: :TU:

Pictures of portholes ............... Coming soon :Do No:


Sweet Ride !!!!!:bglasses:

[my3buicks]

Porthole shot

I also have to say I amazed the neighbors the other day when I brought home an antique bedroom set in it. They couldn't believe I pulled a dresser, chest of drawers, vanity with bench, headboard and footboard, wood siderails and slats and a mirror for both the dresser and vanity out of the Rendezvous. Oh, a rocker also. Just love this vehicle!!

[68 LeSabre 4dr]

Nice job!:TU:

[buickman70]

This is a photo of my 68' IH 908 when I bought it. Since then I have put on factory 15x7 chrome IH wheels with 255/70/15 tires on it, and took off those awful mudflaps. It is in storage right now so I can't get a better photo. I hope to get to work on this after the Buick gets done. Last summer I put 5000 miles driving it to work (I got 14mpg). I also have a 92 rusty nissan sentra(35mpg work car) and 99 chevy Z-71 (boat puller), but they aren't worth taking photos of.:laugh:

[skyphix]

Just updating my other cars... got a job an hour and a half away from home making decent money and decided that I should probably get a new car... got rid of the Honda and became a REAL ricer... but at least its sorta quick. Just to quell the questions, the reason I got this over the equally quick Cobra is RWD vs. AWD... I drive a bit too much in poor weather and end up stuck in pretty bad snow storms that I certainly wouldn't have gotten out of in a RWD, 390hp/ftlb car.

http://non.skyphix.com/2003/WinterShots/RearZoomSmall.jpg

And it does pretty well in the snow...

http://non.skyphix.com/2003/WinterShots/SnowPlowSmall.jpg

[Smartin]

Eric! Long time no see man!!!

Still got the Buick??

[skyphix]

Absolutely still have the Buick... its the year for the teardown... :grin:

[Smartin]

We MUST have pictures.


MUST:grin:

[Floydsbuick]

Hey Eric,

Glad to hear your working good! Good choice for a daily driver. I'd take a WRX in a second!

[skyphix]

Heh, thanks guys. No change in the Buick yet and unfortunately its still together, however, I will be moving to a job a bit closer with a bit more set hours and will be finishing school in a month, so that means more time to work on the 'Ick. :D

For people who might not know what my car is... its a 2004 Subaru WRX STi ..

300hp, 300ft/lbs.

Subaru says the quarter is in approx 13.3, but independents running in cool weather are reporting 13.1 or 13.0... 100% stock :D

[evil666greaser]

i'd like the wrx too... but unfortunately thats outta my league right now... so i have to put up with my other rides.. an Austin truck with mildy tuned 4 banger(hella quick lil truck too) and my rally style Mini... not one of those hideous new mini things... errk

[BuickLeSabre1960]

this is my project car, it's a 1978 Mercury Monarch 2 door ghia. As far as I know it's one of two in the world.

I like it! :)

[chryco63]

Glenn,

Nice Mope, and an even sweeter daily driver! :) I've always loved those '63-'66 A-bodies. I've always wanted to build a '66 Dart with a nasty solid-cammed 273 and 4 speed!

[Mr. Bill]

We'll start with the 1980 Datsun 310, then move on to my FREE 1994 Geo Prism. Then we can all see the hideous 2001 Kia Rio. MIA are: 1995 Taurus wagon and 1988 Taurus wagon.

I hate the avalanche...Nice '87 though. Very clean. Looks like quite a sleeper. Got a 1/4 Mi time for that?

[buickgs400]

I bought my 79 in 1996 for $850 (no rust) with a strong 455 in it as my daily driver. I drove it one year as a daily driver and averaged $400 a month on gas! Needless to say, I stopped driving it. My daughter thinks she will get it when she turns 16...NOT!!! I will have to replace the 455 with a 4cyl if that happens.... ;-)

[Mr. Bill]

Any car can go fast enough to kill you.

Just a 4 inch down pipe and K&N filter. I do have the superchip tuner and run it on the max setting. Yeah, I'm the a$$hole in the superduty smoking the tires across intersections and scaring old ladies...All with a grin on my face!! :laugh:. My son is getting his bronco lifted next week!:Dou:

[Ryans-GSX]

this is my new project and I love it almost as much as my buicks I have been wanting a 68 fastback 4spd car for many many years and thanks to a member of this board found one "thanks dave" happen to tell him I have ben looking for years for a 1968 Fastback 4spd and he say there is one up the street I think the man will sell it almost a year later and a lot of talking I now own it a 1968 Mustang GT Fastback only it is a 3spd but thats OK as it is a stick car and that is what I was after

[IDOXLR8]

Ryan, I know what you mean. That is what interested me in buying my 68 4-speed car, AL.

[Tufbuick]

Just a beach car, keep it at the summer cottage in the Hamptons.
The kids call it their BEATER, think I might get rid of it 'cause it needs a tune-up.

Let's see, is that 3 speed Stage 1 convertable still available, maybe he'll take this and $50,000 as a trade.

Dream-on MOON'.............Dream-on!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MR.BUICK]

If that thing needs a tuneup, I wouldn't keep it either......last time I heard, tuneups for a car like that one would be about 2k, so I think I would sell it.:beer :TU:

:laugh:

['71buickg.s.]

heres the car we sold to get a muscle car
My grandpa was the 2nd owner, he got the car in 1980 and it was his weekend cruiser, he put goodyears on it when he got it and that was it, totally stock 500-2barrel with single exhaust, had a fiberglass boot.. or maybe it was metal, i dont remember, it had cool options on it, a/c white leather interior, headlight dimmers and weird gizmos like that. after he died in '93, it sat in our garage, not registered or anything, when we became serious about selling it, we had to get the ac fixed, so we were driving it down the road when suddenly we heard a flapping sound, the front driverside tire BROKE! it didnt split, pop, blowout, it plan broke, that was in 2002, and i miss that car sooo much!
all my friends called it the pimpmobile! maybe thats cuz it was longer than our suburban.. i think it was like 21 feet

[oldsmobuick]

here are mine

[GS-XNR]

My first full resto project. 67 Elky 396-350HP, TH400, console, buckets, air, PS, PB, fully numbers match down to the carb and dist. Sold it to get into my Buicks. Oh if we could only keep all the good ones!

[GS-XNR]

Here's my 92 Allante pictured with my 71 GS. I got the Allante in April from California. These are fun cars to drive and so far I haven't experienced any of the Allante problems with electrical, etc. It was a two owner car with 84,000 miles when I got it and in excellent shape.

['71buickg.s.]

harvey, the front bumper looks a heckuva lot meaner without the bumper guards on it.. very simple to take off.. only takes a couple mins tops and really makes it look like a muscle car!

[GS-XNR]

Hi Marty
Thanks for the tip. I'll try it and see how it looks.

[grnlark]

I recently bought this 1985 Lotus Esprit Turbo. It's pretty cool and very different from other cars I've had, but the Buick still rules the garage.

Hi everybody, this is my other car. Its a 1953 Volvo 444 in original unrestored condition. My grand-dad bought it new in ´53. It was parked for good in 1975 and havn´t been driven since. I plan to drive it again someday. / Hans

nadda buick, but pretty fast, and a real kick in the pants to ride. the only kind of rice worth having :pp this one is an 81 honda CB900 Custom. usually a cruiser bike, i have spent most of this summer converting it to a sport touring style. besides the CB900F body pieces, i have changed the back wheel from a 16" to a 17", changed the front wheel from a 19" to an 18", added a telefix fork brace, yoshimira exhaust, maier sport fairing, sport bars, crash guards, progressive rear adjustable shocks, and plan on changing the forks to a set off of an 81 CB750F. if you are into older bikes, you know the infinite possibilities in those big old UJMs.

this is my parts getter. bought it at an auction for $300. she does a great burn-out! :3gears:

my latest toy. i found this 88 beretta GT on the internet- and it was here in missoula :laugh: little 2.8L V6 with 5 speed, sway bars, 7" wide 15" stock wheels to be upgraded to some 16" wheels off of a GTZ. lots of fun to drive. gotta get the HP chip and add a few braces here and there. then i can go SCCA racing :bglasses:

[Craig Balzer]

I curently own two 1970's cars -- neither of which are Buick's. Hell -- they aren't even 'Merican.

I did own a 71 Stage 1 4-speed. Bought in 1975, rebuilt in 1979, sold in 1984 with a spare Muncie 4-speed for :rolleyes: $3200. Brown, w/brown vinyl, white buckets, mini-console and N-25 exhaust. Rebuild included Jahns, Crower (I think -- it's been too long) solid lift cam, :3gears: KB roller rockers, B4B, Holley 800 DP, Hooker, Hayes scatter shield, Mallory dual-point.

So, anyway here's my daily driver:

http://www.classicjaguar.com/CRAIGB4.jpg -- the rebuild -- down to the firewall -- summer 2001
http://www.classicjaguar.com/CRAIGB6.jpg -- new paint on the front 1/3
http://www.classicjaguar.com/cbreb9.jpg -- new custom shocks (x 6 -- the independent rear suspension has two on a side), torsion HD bars, HD sway bars and wiring harness
http://www.classicjaguar.com/89CB4.jpg -- the engine: before
http://www.classicjaguar.com/89CB5.jpg -- the engine: after. New custom headers, rebuilt carbs (x4), 12 x NEW everything else.
http://www.classicjaguar.com/89CB7.jpg -- from the back

That's a 71 XK-E V12 2+2. For those lamenting the cost of rebuilding a BBB 455, consider 12 pistons, 12 pistons sleeves, 24 valves (and all that goes with them) and the timing chain (overhead cams). There are 54 head studs and 21 radiator hoses: the coolant is routed through the oil pump. Cools the oil 45* at a cost of increasing the coolant 5*. Dual thermostats, dual electronic cooling fans

Next: finish the rebuild my 72 XK-E V-12 roadster.

And then -- -- a 70 or 71 Skylark or GS with TSP level 2A engine.

Craig

PS -- no, I not some rich a$$ho!e. Bought the V12 roadster in 1978 for $8,000 as a Captain in the Army. Bought the V12 2+2 in 1999 from my father-in-law for less than $4,000 as a LTC in the Army. Right place at the right tme.

[rtabish]

do you ever wonder why a car manufacturer doesnt just stick with one really great body style? checker did it, VW did it, there have been cobra replicas built for ever. ford has kinda come back to that, and all the american companys are building cars with a "classic" car feel to them. but this is one body style that is definitly timeless! :TU: if i had to build a car based on an older style, this would very much be one of my choices. there is a guy driving around my town with a covertable. i wanna have his car and he can have a feather in a really nice place, but that is just me. you have a couple of great cars! :Brow:

Thanks for the kind words and for posting the image directly to the board.

One BIG caution about using these body shells for bigger engines. A popular trade-out over the years was to pull the Jaguar engine and replace it with a small block Ford or Chebby 350. Both options require modifying the frame rails. This involves cutting them to fit the engine dimensions and welding them back together. This is a NO GO. The frames are high strength, light weight aluminum that can not be welded -- the heat involved in brazing them weakens the integral strength of the metqal. The frames only support the engine, front suspension and the steering. :Smarty:

Hmm... intercooler? :Brow:

[afracer]

Yes it's an intercooler :grin: :TU:

And yes, I have both a 400+ hp Buick and a 180SX with a large stainless steel exhaust. I have my favorite cars, each one is unique in it's own way. My 180's exhaust is mandrel bent 80mm (~3.25 inch) from the turbo all the way back with no cat converter. It's NOT just a stupid FART CAN welded on the back of a 1 7/8" stock exhaust system like all the posers/ricers in the US. Since the car is a turbo, an exhaust like this is actually NEEDED whereas 90% of the imports in America are NOT turbocharged and don't need much more than a 2" exhaust. Also turbo cars aren't usually as farty sounding because the turbo quiets and changes the exhaust tone down.

BTW the red car is faster than my Buick....I spent ~$6000 to get the Buick as fast as it is (14.1) and the red one went 14.3 stock! Bought the car for $1400 and invested about $2500 on the red one and never got to retest it at the track, but it was a lot faster than it's 14.3 run!!! :3gears:

[BuickLeSabre1960]

ok, I'll accept that :) . I still don't get the whole large V8 uses 2 1/2" and a small turbo i-4 uses 3.25" exhaust but I don't know about turbos or stuff like that

Since a turbo relies on exhaust pulses to spin a turbine, unlike a supercharger that relies on a belt attached to the crank, the lower the backpressure behind the turbine vs. in front of it... the easier it is to spin that turbine. Basically you want a lot of hot exhaust pulses flowing rapidly in front of the turbine to get it to spin, and a large place to dump them once they get past the blades, hence the huge exhaust systems.

[skyphix]

I guess I should update my "other car" ... since its winter time and this year I went with different rims :D

Oh Yea. This one is the Rally Sport with the heavier suspension as has the Z-24. It has a 3.1 MFI V6 so needless to say, it gets right up and goes. This car gives my Green Goddess, (64 LeSabre in the background), a run for her money, and belive it when I say that the Green Goddess is no slouch!

As far as ricers, it eats them now :laugh:


I am going to give it cold air induction via hood scoops, and to boost gas milage, I'm going to install a Tornado fuel Saver. I am toying with the idea of either a Supercharger or a Turbo Charger, then lookout! :beer

Jim.

[BuickLeSabre1960]

and to boost gas milage, I'm going to install a Tornado fuel Saver
Jim. Do those things work?? I have heard both ways on them

[JimBoCol]

Do those things work?? I have heard both ways on them

I have heard that they do boost milage, but as far as horsepower goes, they do a bit at higher RPM like on the highway. I'll find out soon enough though, and I will let you know what happens. I am getting 26mpg now, let's see what I get when I install the Tornado.

Jim.

[rtabish]

i would suppose that ...in theory, the idea is a pretty sound one. and especially in the upper rpm range where the most air is moving, the potential for utilizing more air/fuel mix just as in a turbo or blower makes sense...in theory, just like a velocity stack or ram tube.
on jim's cav, i am exploring the same changes for my beretta GT. got the ground effects last night [took two UPS guys to get them up to the house, i feel sorry for those UPS guys this time of year], put on the 16" GTZ wheels, installed a strut brace in the engine bay, installed a cold air intake and a bigger cat-back system. am doing some reading on various 'chips' available, everything from eprom chips to simple cold air sensor resistors. all VERY different from the tech i have learned to build up "OLD" hotrods :3gears:

[JimBoCol]

am doing some reading on various 'chips' available, everything from eprom chips to simple cold air sensor resistors

Well, I am a member of a performance Cavalier forum, and according to the guys there, chipping a Cavalier is more or less a waste of time and money. You wind up only getting about .5HP boost, really not worth it. They suggeted cold air, and I came up with trying the tornado.... to see what that does before dropping about $3,600.00 for a Supercharger. I'm not looking to out run my Wildcat Convertible, that is highly unlikely, I just want to feel the power when I step on the gas, and perhaps beat my Green Goddess. :grin:

Hey everyone - I'm new here. Found the site searching for nailhead information as I am looking at a 1957 Century. My first car was a '57 Special I got from my grandfather which had seen better days but I thought it was fantastic. Unfortunately it was (1) a 4-door post, (2) my dad burned up the Dynaflow towing his Travelall and (3) what was left of it got filled with ash from Mt. St. Helens in 1980. But I recently saw a Century 2-door HT so am working on a replacement...

In the meantime here's my "other cars" - as you can see I need a 4 seater so why not go with a classic??

Cheers

its an 81 CB900F [yeah, i know, wrong tank decal] that has only about 20K on it. the original bike was silver/blue and was pretty much a derelect. now it is charcoal metalic and i am in the process of adding CB1100F wheels, sticky bridgestone battlaxes, looking for some decent stuff to add to the rear suspension [already installed progressive fork springs, telefix brace, 10wt fork oil]. i probably wouldnt put this bike on a car site. but oddly enough, i happen to know that there are more than a few bike guys on here that may appreciate this little toy :bglasses:

Here is the Chevy II I drive to work. Until I sell it.

I see my wife's 05 T Bird in the back.

Nice color choice :TU: Last I saw it it was in primer.

[ss4825]

Thats a sweet little chevy II.

Here are my other toys.

1980 Porsche 928S Euro model. A 4.7l V8 in the front. That puts out 320hp in a 3100 lb vehicle. I track it with the PCA. Do all the work myself. I'll never complain about Buick part prices again!

One of my goals is to use my Riv to trailer this.

Here's my daily driver, a Porsche 944. Just a 4 in front. Good mileage and not overly quick when letting my teenagers drive it.

I've tried to post a pic of me in Daisy Dukes but it's not loading.

[SweBuick]

Just got back from a month-long US trip. :TU: . I bought this ´66 Ford F-100 from the original owner up in Portland, OR. In the background you can see my ´61 Chevrolet Apace that I bought in Missoula, MT.

[MikeM]

Hans, very cool. I bet they'll be a big hit back home.

I miss the days when cars had politically incorrect names like Apache or Chieftan. Indian head pennies and nickels, cigar store indians, all that kind of stuff.

I just shipped a car from Japan to USA for about $1500 "roll on and roll off". Just curious whether that's a similar price from USA to Europe?

[bmxmon]

In reality, my 67 buick special is my "other" car. My main car is my 65 mustang, with a 302 backed by a 3spd and 8inch rear end. I hope to get a 5spd in there shortly, though i've been meaning to do it for awhile now..... Another one of my vehicles is my 1990 jeep wagoneer, which was my daily driver for awhile. (retired for the summer, will be back for the winter) The other cool cars in my life are my brothers 74 camaro, which has a 350 backed by a 3spd auto. (TH-350 i believe....) and my step dads 66 impala SS convertible, which has been under restoration for roughly nine years now! The body still needs to be worked, though the frame is looking good now. (if you look in the pic of the frame, you can see the front of the impala body) It will have a 327 with a 2spd powerglide trans. I put the engine and trans in there when i was bored, though it will need to be taken apart to put the flex plate and torque converter in.

Hi Mike, shipping a truck from Los Angeles to Gothenburg cost me about $1,500 in a container. A car would be around $1,300. What kind of car did you ship out of Japan? I know that some American cars go from Europe to the US but they are usually high dollar cars in perfect condition.

['71 GSX]

Here is my other toy.......2007 Mustang GT auto and my grocery getter is a black '04 Silverado 4X4 short bed.

[BigBlock68]

Here is the Chevy II I drive to work.

Cool louvres (sp?) on the hood. Do they actually force air under the hood, or just for looks?

[quickstage1]

I just got this car a few months ago. It's a '66 Mustang, 289 2bbl, 3 speed manual. 59k original miles. It needs some interior and alittle body work but runs great. I've wanted another one since I sold my last '66 in 1992.

Cool truck. :bglasses: .I didn't used to like that hood line until I realized that a functional "ram air" type of induction could be set up for a stout BBC :3gears: IMHO.You have good taste in your choice of rides :bglasses:

OK, hans. i gotta know.....how did you get a truck from here in missoula and then decide to take it to sweden? :confused:
i have always liked the early 60s chevy and GM trucks. nice lines.
lately, i have been more into my bikes. i have been doing a lot of work on this one, 1981 CB900F. started out as a basket case and i have upgraded a lot of the bike to CB1100F stuff. i am still not done with it, as i have some ideas for CBR wheels, swing arm, and upgrading the carbs to some keihin CR specials.

Hi Rob, I bought the truck before I went to the US in April. First I did drive it to a friend of mine in Portland, Or passing Idaho and Washington. Man, was there snow up in the mountains :eek2: , even more than here in Sweden.
I bought my Ford truck in Portland and a friend of mine and myself drove the two trucks down from Portland to Los Angeles and then they were shipped to Sweden.
It was a long drive but it was a blast and I enjoyed the trip very much. The ´61 Chev has always been one of my favorite trucks and finally I got one. :TU:

My 69' chevelle and my 95' sonoma with a flowmaster dual 2 1/2in. exhaust, would be nice to lower the truck 3in. oh i also added a photoshop fun picture, it's not real by the way!! I'd need to be airbaged to go that low.

[D-Con]

I helped my pop build it when I was a little kid, he just gave it to me as an early Christmas present. Needs a total rebuild, but I just drove it 200 miles. Not too bad for something built ~1976. 400 SBC, TH400 VP converter and Olds rear.

[Mike Atwood]

Adam, that is a cool ride! I don't care much for the color, maybe it's because my first GS was bamboo creme.
I like it alot though!

[The other 455]

Let me see if there's enough room here for my Toys........
'38 PlyDo runs a mid mounted 318 & auto, open headers, and a BBQ up front - Nicknamed the CAR-B-Q.
'54 Dodge has triple carbed flathead (6)
Olds 98 is getting a twin turbo 455 (EFI)
'79 LeBaron runs a stuffed sloper & auto
Car # 6 is the most fun you can have with your pants on.......
Daily drive is an LS1 powered Holden Ute,
and there's a Buick around here somewhere.

Regards,
Fish
